Abstract

A new method for convergent coupling of fused polycyclic ethers has been developed, which relies on B-alkyl Suzuki cross-coupling of lactone-derived enol triflates or phosphates. The strategy was successfully applied to a convergent synthesis of the ABCD ring fragment 4 of ciguatoxins, the causative toxin for ciguatera fish poisoning. The synthetic route includes a convergent union of the B and D rings (18 and 29c, respectively) by the B-alkyl Suzuki ...
